A cataract refers to cloudiness in the lens of the eye, which can cause vision loss and sometimes blindness. Structural proteins in the eye breakdown with aging and cause cataracts. Fifty percent of the population between ages 52 and 64, and 70% of those over 70 years old, have cataracts. Symptoms of cataracts include blurry or fuzzy vision, changes in color vision, and increased glare from lights among others.

The most important factor is increasing age, but there are additional factors, including smoking, diabetes, and excessive exposure to sunlight. Cataract is the leading cause of blindness in the world, and affects nearly 20.5 million Americans age 40 and older. By age 80, more than half of all Americans develop cataract.

A cataract is a lens that is no longer transparent, but rather is opaque (no, or little light can pass through it). As a result of the lens transparency, the eye's visual function is significantly reduced and in some cases completely absent. The surgical removal of the cataract and the insertion of a special contact lens in the place can retrieve a degree of vision. The patient should get back some of the lost vision after the surgery, but will require the use of corrective lenses. CBC Complete blood count.

n. Opacity of the lens of the eye resulting in complete or partial blindness.
A cataract is a clouding of all or part of the normally clear lens within your eye, which results in blurred or distorted vision. Cataracts are most often found in persons over age 55, but they are also occasionally found in younger people. A chemical change occurs within your eye to cause the lens to become cloudy. This may be due to advancing age, heredity or an injury or disease. Excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation in sunlight, cigarette smoking or the use of certain medications are also risk factors for the development of cataracts.
